IT is with considerable pride that we, of the
New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Associ­a
tion, today warmly welcome the visitors
in our midst to New Orleans and the sixth an­nual
Sugar Bowl Football Classic.
We ore today experiencing the satisfaction
of seeing Southern football toke its rightful
place in the acclaim of our great notion, and
no more perfect setting could be imagined or
desired than the one presented in this huge
stadium with 70,000 and more fans with us.
The tremendous notional interest which the
Sugar Bowl has attracted in six short years is
astounding, and speaks for itself. It proclaims,
in no uncertain way, that America loves am­ateur
sports and recognizes the fact that the
Sugar Bowl has never failed to present the
greatest New Years' day games, without
strings or: attachments hindering its select ion
of the co~peting teams.
This unalterable policy of giving the fans
the very finest game that could be arranged
annually has won the confidence, respect and
gratitude of the country.
And, so, in behalf of my associates and self
of the New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Associ ­ation,
on organization composed of thirty-
Seeing
Made
Football
Today
nine civic minded men who, six years ago,
bonded themselves together to provide o cal­endar
of major sports for New Orleans be­tween
Christmas and New Years, I bid you
welcome. We look forward with o great deal
of pleasure to your return in the succeeding
years, and we trust you will corry away with
you very pleasant memories of your stay in
"America's Most Interesting City", and of
the 1940 "Sugar Bowl Calendar".
And, to you New Orleanians, who through
your faith in the Sugar Bowl, and support of
its initial steps and the later enlargement of
the stadium, we give o renewed sincere
" thank you", for the port that each of you
played in making it all possible.
Finally, we must not overlook and express
our grateful appreciation to the various Uni ­ve
rsities and all of the fine young athl etes
and their coaches, who, in competing in t his
year's Sugar Bowl calendar, hove mode of it on
outstanding classic in the annals of American
athletics.
The New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Asso­ciation
extends to you and yours their very
best and warmest wishes for o Happy, Pros­perous
and Peaceful New Year.
Sincerely and cordially,
~~ c:;?'~ "'

THE GAME TODAY By FRED DIGBY
Sports Editor, Item-Tribune
G RANTLAND RICE called the meeting
of the Texas Aggies and Tulane
Greenies as the "Bowl Game To See".
This notional ly known sports commentator
and footba ll expert fo rmed this conclusion
after seeing Tulane crush Columbia, 25 to 0
and scanning the record of Texas A. and M.
These teams were the two greatest offen­sive
units of the 1939 season. Their power
wrecked the defense of every team they en­gaged.
And what was unusual, their own de­fenses
were of such high calibre as to hold
against the most formidable opposition.
When the curtain was rung down on the
1939 campaign, the notion's sports expe rts
voted Texas A. and M. the top ranking team
by a point margin that was tremendous. Tu­lane
was not for behind. In fact, all of the
notionally known rating systems hod the
Green Wove in the first five.
Southwest Conference experts classed this
Texas A. and M. team as the best balanced
in history of Texas football. It was one that

To win on a fast field
or in the rain and mud.
Tulane was strictly
a power-house, the like
of which has never
been seen in the Deep
South. It reminded
even Big Ten experts of the better Western
Conference aggregations and was even de­clared
superior to Minnesota's Na t ional
Champion team of 1934.
So the "game today" could have been of­fered
to football fans as a "national cham­pionship"
contest. Certain ly the winner will
be justified in laying claim to this honor.
As the Aggies and Greenies test thei r team
speed, stamina and strength All-America sta rs

THE Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege
of Texas, one of the Land Grant Colleges,
opened its doors October 4, 1876 wi t h six
students enrolled. However, by the end of
the 1876-77 school year the enrollment total­ed
1 06, compared to on estimated total of
approximately 6,000 for the 1939-40 school
year. Registration this post school year ( 1938-
39) totaled 5,866 young men drown from
thirty-nine states, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii, Conal Zone, Puerto Rico, and fifteen
foreign countries.
From its tiny beginning the college has
grown until the post year it hod the largest
schools of agriculture and veterinary medicine
in the country and the second largest school
of engineering on the basis of enrollment. In
1939 its Reserve Officers Training Corps
graduating class of 244 was the largest in
the notion.
The college was established in conformity
with on Act of Congress, known as the Mor­rill
Act, approved by President Lincoln July 2,
1 862. Provisions of the oct were accepted by
the Legislature of Texas November 1, 1866,
and on oct providing for the establishment of
the college was passed by the State Legisla­ture
April 17, 1871. Texas A. & M. is the old­est
state-supported institution of higher edu­cation
in Texas.
Dr. T. 0 . Walton is the thirteenth executive
to serve as president.
Enrollment at Texas A. & M. is limi ted to
young men who live in dormitories on the
campus. Milita ry train ing and organization
prevails at the college which has one of the
largest senior R.O.T.C. units in the United
States. The teaching organization includes
five schools, Agricultural, Engineering, Arts
and Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Grad­uate
School. During its history the college
has awarded 8,405 degrees.
The physical plant of the main institution
at College Station, Texas (exclusive of prop­erty
of the three branch colleges, under super­vision
of the board of directors, which ore
located in different sections of the state} ex­ceeds
$12,500,000 in value compared with
$200,000 when the college was opened. The
main campus tokes up approximately 450
acres while adjoining agricultural lands in­creases
the total to about 4,000 acres. An ex­tensive
building program costing over $2,000,-
000, for twelve new dormitories and another
dining hall, has just been completed.
•
THE Tulane University of Loui siana was o r­ganized
as the Medical College of Louisi­ana
in 1834. In 1845 the State Constitu­tion
established the University of Louisiana
with the departments of Law, Medicine and
Natural Sciences and Letters. In 1882 Mr.
Paul Tulane of Princeton, New Jersey, former­ly
a resident of New Orleans, donated his prop­erty
in New Orleans for educational purposes
to a Boord of Administrators who organized
themselves as the Tulane Educational Fund.
This donation with subsequent gifts,
amounted to $ 1,050,000. In 1884, by on oct
of the Legislatu re of Louisiana of that year,
the existing University of Louisiana was trans­ferred
to this Boord and the nome was chang­ed
to the Tulane University of Louisiana.
In 1886, Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb
dono ted $1 00,000 to estobl ish the H. Sophie
Newcomb Memorial College as the women's
deportment in the University. She added
largely to her original endowment, and by her
wi ll bequeathed about $2,700,000 additional.
The University comprises the following de­partments:
The College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Engineering, the H. Sophie
Newcomb Memorial College for Young Wom­en,
the Graduate School, the College of Low,
the School of Medicine and the Graduate
School of Medicine, the College of Commerce
and Business Administration, the Courses for
Teachers and for the General Public, the
School of Social Work, the Deportment of
Middle American Research, and the Summer
Schools.
The Campus of 92 acres, wi th its imposing
build ings, faces Audubon Pork, one of the
most beautiful parks in the South and the
sixth largest pork in the United States.
Under construction now is the spacious and
architecturally beautiful McAlister audito­rium,
while construction on a new student
center building is to begin within the next few
weeks. Future building, announced some time
bock by the University's young and progres­sive
President, Dr. Rufus Carrollton Harris,
wi ll include the Howard Memorial Library, on
endowed downtown library, which is being con­solidated
with the University library in a mag­nificent
new building on the Campus.
The University has extensive athletic
grounds. The commodious football stadium
has been increased to 70,000 capacity through
the efforts of the New Orleans Mid-Winter
Sports Association or "Sugar Bowl" as the or­ganization
is generally known.

AGGIE THUMB- NAILS
NORTON, HOMER HI L L , head coach and d irector of
intercollegiate athletics. Coach Norton came to
Texas A. &. M. in 1934 from Centenary College,
Shreveport, La., with which he had been connected
since 1920, relieving Madison Bell as Aggie athletic
leader. He was director of ath letics and head foot·
ball coach while at Centenary. At Aggieland he
couples his coaching duties with that of director of
interco l legiate atheltics.
Born at Carrolton, Ala., on Dec. 30, 1897, he attend·
ed Birmingham high school and Birmingham-South·
ern College, graduating from the latter in 1916. He
lettered in football, baseball, basketball and track,
captained the baseball and football teams in 1915 and
won a medal as the best all-round athlete for his
senior year.
Following college days, Norton played professional
baseball for a while, with the Birmingham Barons in
the Southern League, Greenboro in the Piedmont
League and Lakeland, Fla., in the Million Dol lar
League. He was sold to Columbus in the American
Association but asked to be placed on the vol untary
retired list and never reported to the club. In 1920
he became head coach at Centenary College.
Coach Norton headed the Centenary coaching staff
for two years and then served as line coach under
"Bo" McMillan for three years. When McMillan left,
Norton was offered and declined the position as head
coach, but accepted the post in 1926, after another
year as line coach, and held it until he came to Texas
A. &. M. in 1934.
Norton tutored three undefeated teams in seven
years while head mentor at Centenary. His 1927, 1932
and 1933 teams were undefeated and his 1930 eleven
lost only one game, the Texas Aggies eking out a
7·6 victory in that one. During the 1932 and 1933 sea·
sons his teams were undefeated in twenty straight
games and unscored on in fourteen.
In his five years at Texas A. &. M., his teams have
won 32 games, lost 23 and tied six.

John Kimbrough, better known as "Jarring John"
is a 21-year-old giant from Haskell, T exas. He stands
6 feet 2 inches and tips the scales at 210 pounds. He
has another year of eligibility at A. &. M. and after
making All-American teams galore during the 1939
season, he bids fair to repeat next year. John was
high·polnt man of the Southwest Conference this
year, and has been called one of football's greatest
plunging fullbacks.
MILLS LOUNGE • 6233 S. CLAIBORNE A VENUE
Derace Moser, six-foot, 180-pound five sport man,
stepped out as a Sophomore this season and won
himself a starting post at left-halfback for the Aggies.
" Mose" punts, passes and and carries the mail, as
well as playing a bang-up safety spot. For a Soph­omore
this lad has shown a steadiness and cool head
this year that would do credit to a more experienced
gridiron warrior. No doubt during his next two years
of eligibility "Mose" will win his laurels on All·
Southwest Conference and gain national recognition
of his ability. He plays baseball, basketball, tenls and
Is a track man.

AGGIE THUMB- NAILS
Continued from Page 29
James Thomason, anather jun ior with a year of
eligibility left, has been largely responsible for Kim­brough's
success as a line ripper this year, for the
5-foot 11-lnch lad from Brownwood has consistently
cleared the way for other Aggie backs by his stellar
blocking. Tommie's fighting heart and great spirit is
transferred to the other Aggies on the team, and
Coach Norton is frank in his praise of T homason,
calling him the " greatest blocker I've ever coached".
Tommie Is a,n excellent punter and ball carrier, but
he has sacrificed these talents willingly to stand out
as a defensive tower and an offensive whirlwind at
blocking. • • • •
Walemon Price is the only senior in the Aggie
starting backfield. Cotton is a quarterback with
plenty of savvy, and he Is polson to opponents with
his passing and ball-carrying propensities. Cotton is
a six-footer weighing 180 pounds and he hails f rom
Newcastle, Texas. While handicapped during a part
of the 1939 season, Cotton has made his senior year
at Aggieland one upon which he can look back with
pride through the coming years. He is an excellent
point after touchdown kicker and .punts at times.
• • • •
William Conatser, a 170,pound 5-foot 11 lad from
Denison, Is the kind of a boy who makes a coach look
good, according to Homer Norton. T his lad was used
last year as a punting specialist, due to a broken
collarbone; but he blossomed out Into a real ball-toter
and coffin-corner kicker in 1939. With six touchdowns
nullified by penalties committed by his mates, Bill
managed to score enough to be right behind John
Kimbrough In the Southwest Conference scoring
melee. Conatser and Moser room together, and take
• • •
turns playing the left halfback spot for the Aggies.
They are as inseparable as ham and eggs or Scotch
and soda. Bi ll has another year at Aggleland.
• • • •
Marion Pugh, better known as Oookie, is the
Aggies' passing specialist. In addition to h is procl iv­ities
for hurling the pigskin, this 6-foot 1-inch lad
from Fort Worth can tote the leather In anybody's
league. Pugh's greatest game in 1939 was at his
home town when the Aggles opened the Southwest
Confernce season against Texas Christian Univer·
sity. Oookie also plays baseball at Aggieiand, and
is one of the most popular youngsters on the campus.
Pugh is a junior. • • • •
Marland Jeffrey of Port Arthur has proved this
year that the old adage "Jack of all trades, master of
none", is all wet. This lad has filled every position
in the Aggie backfield, having been used as "swing
man" by Coach Norton with telling effect. It was
Jeff who rushed Into the fray at Fayetteville, Ark.,
and hurled passes until the Arkansas Razorbacks
were dizzy. He made them like a game that they
were supposed to have originated-the passing at­tack.
Jeffrey is a star on the Aggie baseball team,
and has one more year of eligibility.
• • • •
Tommie Vaughn of Brownwood is the Aggie cen­ter
and sparkplug of the great defensive record
made by the lads from the Brazos river bottoms this
year. This 6-foot 1-lnch, 185-pounder Is a rough and
ready 60-minute ball player as occasion demands.
He is definite refutation of the theory that a center
must weigh more than 200, for T ommie stands out
there in the flat barking defensive signals for the
Aggies and is always In the thick of the milling for
the time he's in a ball game.

AGGIE THUM B- NAILS
Continued from Page 31
Odell H erman, who'd rather be called " Butch" is
only 5 feet 10, but his 190 pounds are all steel, and
when he replaces Tommie Vaughn at center for the
Aggies, the opposing players are in for some hard
knocks. Butch is a converted fullback, and he knows
how to back up a line. He has been quite adept this
year at snagging forward passes. Herman has another
year of eligibility. * * !,'c •
Henry Hauser is one of those tall, silent boys from
the Texas hill countr y. He stands 6 feet 4, barefoot
and weighs a cool 200 pounds. He has the k ind of
nerves that make h im one of the best golfers In
collegiate circles. With this quiet demeanor, he also
carries a whale of a wallop when playing center,
guard or tackle for the A. &. M. team. They call him
"Bear-Tracks" at Aggieland. Henry is a junior.
• • • •
Marshall Foch Robnett is the 205·pound 6·foot 1·
inch guard of the Aggies whose ·play this year has
zoomed him into the national spotlight, and no doubt
will gain for him All-America honors next year. This
22-year-o ld lad from Klondike, Texas, was aptly
named by a father who held the great French Gen­eral,
Marshall Foch, because " Foxey" hates to let
a ball-carrier pass the line of scrimmage, and very
few of them are able to do so when "Foxey" is In the
game-and that is practically all the time. For Rob·
nett is a 60..minute man if ever there was one. He
is heavyweight boxing and wrestling champion of
6000 students, lettered in track last year and has a
younger brother, Edward, who is an Aggie squadman
this year.
• • l;t •
Charles Henke, 204-pound, 6-foot 2-inch junior from
Kerrville, holds down the other guard post of the
Aggies with Robnett. Henke lettered as a tackle last
year, and this year has played a fine game at guard
throughout the Aggies' gruelling 10-game schedule.
The hills around Henke's home abound in white tail
deer, and this youngster is pretty handy with a 30..30
rifle, but he is more adept at kn if ing through a line
and smearing opponents' plays before they get start­ed.
• • * *
Joe Boyd, the Aggies' All-American tackle is com·
pleting his collegiate football career in the Sugar
Bowl game today. The blond giant from Dallas also
will complete his scholastic requirements for a de-gree
In February, and will enter the oil business as
an accountant and statistician. Boyd made All-South·
west Conference team last year and repeated this
year, adding All-America laurels on many selections.
He will be sore ly missed around Aggieland where he
has been one of the most popular athletes ever to
attend the College Station Institution.
* • 0 "'
James Sterling from Panhandle, Texas, Is the
other Aggie starting end. Sterling is a Sophomore
and won his starting berth from a group of seniors
and juniors who were out for the end posts of the
Aggies. Sterling is 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 185 at
his prime. In high school this youngster made letters
in football, baseball, basketball, track and tennis.
Only 17 years of age when the season started, James
is the baby of the Agg ie squad.
* I) * *
Herbert Smith at end is another Aggie appearing
for his last collegiate football game today. Little
Herbie stands just 5 feet 10 inches and weighs only
173, but he's every ounce a football-playing piece of
machinery. He was almost unanimous choice for All·
Southwest Conference end this year, and End Coach
Dough Rollins of the Aggies says "he's more end
per pound than any man in football today" . Smith
hails from San Angelo and has lettered three years
on the Aggie varsity. Particularly adept at spilling
interference and turning plays inside his end. Herbie
often brings the rabid football fans In the stands to
their feet by a brilliant defensive play.

TRAIN ON
KNOX
GELATINE
THE Knox Gelatine Drink for Endur-ance
has had a definite place on the
training tables of leading universities
during the past season. While Knox Gel­atine
cannot make a team win, coaches
and trainers have found that athletes have
more endurance, recover more quickly
from hard competition, show noticeably
fewer muscle strains and injuries when
they get their Knox Gelatine every day.
Men and women in all walks of life are
increasing their endurance and lessening
fatigue by this same simple method. Try
it yourself. Take Knox Gelatine every
day for a few weeks. See if you, too,
don't feel better, work better, play better.
Most people need all the vitality they can
get to win out in the game of life.
T£AR THIS OUT AS A R£MIND£R
THIS WAY: Empty 1 env. Knox
Gelatine in glass 3;4 full of cold
water or fruit juice (or half water,
half fruit juice). Let liquid absorb
gelatine. Stir briskly, drink rapidly
or it will thicken. Take 4 env. a day
for 2 weeks, then 2 env. a day. (Be­fore
or after meals.) Try it for a
month. Notice the difference. ·
CAUTION: Be sure you use puce,
unflavored Knox Gelatine. Only
Knox was used in the scientific ex­periments.
Ready-flavored gelatine
desserts which ar~ about 85% sugar
and only about 10% gelatine will
not do. Free Booklet on energy

What I Don't Like About
New Orleans • • •
By WILLIAM C. WIEGAND
Conductor of "Down the Spillway"
The New Orleans hem
THIS Sugar Bowl game, for instance, is
something I don't like; why must it be
played only once a year? The Sugar Bowl
game has spoiled the old New Orleans cus­tom
of cal ling on friends on New Year's Day.
The custom of gentlemen wearing plug hats
and cutaways was discorded the first year the
Sugar Bowl game was played and now the only
persons in New Orleans to wear silk hats are
the cleaners of chimneys, who have adopted
these as their livery ...
The Sugar Bowl game again has played the
devi l with some of our stores in New Orleans.
I mean the ones who used to sell those cut­gloss
punch bowls and cut-glass cups, from
which the elite of the city made New Year's
ceremony and whoopee. Nobody wonts to corry
a punch bowl and all of those cut-glass cups
to the football stadium ...
On second thought, it might be a good idea.
I hope the couple sitting next to me corry
out the idea and carry in a punch bowl, filled.
Another thing I don't like about the Sugar
Bowl game is that it makes visitors sick. I
mean they get a taste of our New Orleans
cooking-lo bouillabaisse, le courtbouillion,
Ia bisque des ecrivisses, gril lades, huitres
Rockefeller-and go back to their home towns
with a yen for dishes they can't get there.
They grow thinner and thinner, and finally
die. That is, unless they surrender and come
back to New Orleans to li ve. Which, I believe,
was back of all this Sugar Bowl ideo, anyhow.
Getting people to come live in New Orleans.
I don't think you would like living here. ff
you like to ice skate, you would have to buy
the ice. And then it would melt in a few min­utes
because of this accursed climate. Heck,
you hove to cut the grass in New Orleans all
the year around. A snowball has as much
chance in New Orleans as in another place to
which our enemies ore directed.
The women, specially, wouldn't like to live
in New Orleans. There's the servant question.
Just try to get along without one. A woman
who hongs up the family wash in New Orleans
is few and fa r between. The toughest part
about running a house in New Orleans is
thinking up enough things to hove Amanda
do to keep her busy unti I the Boss comes home
for dinner. And at that, the Boss won't be
coming home for dinner every night. For he
will be playing golf at the New Orleans Coun­try
Club and staying for dinner. No. Stay away
from New Orleans. Even serious minded hus­bands
become ploy boys here.
They play golf. They play the stock market.
They play the cotton market. And they ploy
the horses. All play and no work doesn't make
Jack.
The best thing you con do after seeing the
Sugar Bowl game is to pack up and head for
home and safety from the sins of this city.
If you stay in New Orleans you might become
acquainted with the night life. I mean the
night clubs below Conal street, the gambling
houses on the fringes of the city, and the bar
rooms everywhe re.
If you stay here you'll have to get the hang
of New Orleans' one way streets. The police
forg ive and forget a visitor with an out state
license plate. But woe awaits the local who
runs afoul the New Orleans traffic rules and
regulations.
Sometimes a rookie cop tries to give the vis­itor
t rouble. One of these is said to hove halt­ed
a Chicago visitor who hadn't seen a red
light. "You don't see that red light, you?" de­manded
the cop. "Don't they have red lights
where you come from? Where you from?"
The visitor said his home town was Chicago.
"Chicago?" screamed the policeman.
"What you mean by te lling me Chicago? You
think I don't see that lf linois license plate on
your cor?"

above New Orleans, now Audubon Park. In this work, a ll Louisiana has had
part. Through its Audubon Sugar School, one of the few in the world, and its Agri­cultural
Experiment Station, the Louisiana State University has been privileged to

HIGHLIGHTS of
Other Years
By HARRY MARTINEZ
Sports Editor, New Orleans States
A NEW Hall of Fame for gridiron greats is
gradually being established in the
Sugar Bowl Classic in New Orleans.
Only five games have been played since this
New Year's Classic became o reality January
1, 1935, but we've hod any number of all­America
and potential a ll-America players
show their greatness before crowds that hove
taxed the Sugar Bowl Stadium to capacity.
Last year Little Dovey O'Brien, the !50-
pound "mite" of Dutch Meyer's great Texas
Christian team performed brilliantly by pass­ing
the Horned Frogs to a 15 to 7 victory over
Carnegie Tech. He and Ki Aldrich, T. C. U.
center, and Peter Moroz and George Muha of
the Skibos joined such others as "Litt le
Monk" Simons of Tulane, Dave Smuckler of
Temple, Sammy Baugh and Dorrell Lester of
T. C. U., Abe Mickal, Bill Crass and Gaynell
Tinsley of L. S. U., and "Flash" Folaschi and
"Mexican" Gomez as heroes of other Sugar
Bowl Classics of the past.
Every game played thus far has produced
stars whose feats are still fresh in the minds
of the grid followers. When the first game be­tween
Tulane and Temple is discussed, every­one
recalls " Little Monk" Simons' brilliant 85-
yord kickoff return that aided Tulane in her
20-14 victory over " Pop" Warner's team.
Likewise they recall Dave $muckier's fine
playing for the Owls.
Gurzynski recovered a Tulane fumble on
the 1 0-yard line and Smuckler, quick to take
advantage of this break, threw a touchdown
pass to Testa. Bill Doherty recovered another
Tulane fumble on the 18-yord line from where
the Owls marched to another score with big
Dove Smuckler leading the way.
Trailing by 14 points Tulane, then coached
by Ted Cox and Lester Lautenschloeger, pro­vided
thri lis that kept the fans on their feet.
John McDaniel took the kickoff after the
Owls second touchdown, raced to one side and

as he drew the Temple players over, he later­oiled
to Simons who ron the opposite way and
with a great burst of speed "Little Monk" ron
85 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown.
Bucky Bryon later passed to Dick Hardy for
the tying touchdown and Barny Mintz, pass­ing
from midfield, hurled another pass to
Hardy who raced over for the winning score.
Next came the first appearance ofT. C. U.
in the Sugar Bowl (they've been in two of
them) in 1936. The Texans won, 3 to 2 with
the score resembling the result of o great
pitchers' battle. It was a great bottle between
two of the greatest passers and punters ever
pitted against each other in the Classic. Sam­my
Baugh, all-America passer for T. C. U.
played one of the greatest games of his ca­reer,
passing, punting and defensively. For
Bernie Moore's L. S. U. team Abe Mickol
matched Baugh's feats.
This game was featured by T. C. U.'s bril ­liant
defensive stands. Bill Cross of L. S. U.
passed to Jeff Barrett and the Iotter ron to
the two-yard line where Baugh mode a great
tackle to prevent o score. The Texans mode
a great goal line stand to toke the bol l on
downs, but lost their a ll-America center, Dor­rell
Lester with a broken shoulder.
Mihalic, on L. S. U. end, rushed Baugh as
he attempted to pass from behind his goal
line. He recovered but was thrown foro safe­ty.
To pull the game out of the fire, Manton
of T. C. U. kicked o field goal from the 26-
yord line to give the Texans a 3 to 2 win. It
was perhaps the most spectacular game ever
played in the rain.
In 1937, Santo Claro defeated L. S. U., 21-
14. A 27 -yard pass from "Flash" Foloschi to
Gomez and another 30-yard pass from Bruno
Pellegrini to Norman Finney gave the Broncos
two early touchdowns. A pass from Crass to
Tinsley who ran 35 yards, gave the Tigers a
touchdown in the lost minute of the first half.
Santo Claro scored again in the third quarter
when "Mississippi" Smith, hauled down near
the L. S. U. goal line, tossed the ball into the
air and Folaschi caught it and fell over the
goal line.
A lone touchdown gave Santo Claro a 6 to
0 win over L. S. U. in 1938. Roy McCarthy

snagged a pass from Jim Bar­low
for 20 yards, placing the
ball on the Tigers' 8-yord
stripe. Pellegrini fl ipped a
fou rth - down pass to Jim
Coughlan into the end zone.
"Cotton" Milner made a great
run from the old Statue of Lib­erty
play but slipped and fell
headlong on Santa Clara's
three-yard line. A brilliant
goal line stand prevented the
Tigers from getting at least a
tie.
Little Davey O'Brien com­pleted
17 out of 27 passes for
225 yards and thereby lies the
story of T. C. U.'s 15 to 7 vic­tory
over Carnegie Tech in
1939. Connie Sparks bucked
over for a T. C. U. touchdown
halfway through the second
period after O'Brien hod set
the stage by his fine passing.
Near the end of the half, Peter
Moroz completed a magnifi­cent
40-yord pass to George
Muha and he dashed over for
a touchdown to give Carnegie
a 7-6 lead as the half ended.
Before many minutes of the
third period ended, O'Brien
completed a 30-yo rd pass to
Durwood Horner and he ran
foro touchdown. In the fourth
period O'Brien kicked a field
goal to make the result de­cisive.
Ki Aldrich gave one of the
greatest exhibitions of defen­sive
ploy ever seen in the bowl.
O'Brien's shovel passes as
well as his long ones were
nothing short of sensational.
He completed 7 to Earl Clark
for 81 yards. He completed
five to Hole for 75 yards and
another of his passes to Horner
netted 43.

Tulane was unbeaten in nine games but

THE Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege
of Texas, one of the Land Grant Colleges,
opened its doors October 4, 1876 wi t h six
students enrolled. However, by the end of
the 1876-77 school year the enrollment total­ed
1 06, compared to on estimated total of
approximately 6,000 for the 1939-40 school
year. Registration this post school year ( 1938-
39) totaled 5,866 young men drown from
thirty-nine states, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii, Conal Zone, Puerto Rico, and fifteen
foreign countries.
From its tiny beginning the college has
grown until the post year it hod the largest
schools of agriculture and veterinary medicine
in the country and the second largest school
of engineering on the basis of enrollment. In
1939 its Reserve Officers Training Corps
graduating class of 244 was the largest in
the notion.
The college was established in conformity
with on Act of Congress, known as the Mor­rill
Act, approved by President Lincoln July 2,
1 862. Provisions of the oct were accepted by
the Legislature of Texas November 1, 1866,
and on oct providing for the establishment of
the college was passed by the State Legisla­ture
April 17, 1871. Texas A. & M. is the old­est
state-supported institution of higher edu­cation
in Texas.
Dr. T. 0 . Walton is the thirteenth executive
to serve as president.
Enrollment at Texas A. & M. is limi ted to
young men who live in dormitories on the
campus. Milita ry train ing and organization
prevails at the college which has one of the
largest senior R.O.T.C. units in the United
States. The teaching organization includes
five schools, Agricultural, Engineering, Arts
and Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Grad­uate
School. During its history the college
has awarded 8,405 degrees.
The physical plant of the main institution
at College Station, Texas (exclusive of prop­erty
of the three branch colleges, under super­vision
of the board of directors, which ore
located in different sections of the state} ex­ceeds
$12,500,000 in value compared with
$200,000 when the college was opened. The
main campus tokes up approximately 450
acres while adjoining agricultural lands in­creases
the total to about 4,000 acres. An ex­tensive
building program costing over $2,000,-
000, for twelve new dormitories and another
dining hall, has just been completed.
•
THE Tulane University of Loui siana was o r­ganized
as the Medical College of Louisi­ana
in 1834. In 1845 the State Constitu­tion
established the University of Louisiana
with the departments of Law, Medicine and
Natural Sciences and Letters. In 1882 Mr.
Paul Tulane of Princeton, New Jersey, former­ly
a resident of New Orleans, donated his prop­erty
in New Orleans for educational purposes
to a Boord of Administrators who organized
themselves as the Tulane Educational Fund.
This donation with subsequent gifts,
amounted to $ 1,050,000. In 1884, by on oct
of the Legislatu re of Louisiana of that year,
the existing University of Louisiana was trans­ferred
to this Boord and the nome was chang­ed
to the Tulane University of Louisiana.
In 1886, Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb
dono ted $1 00,000 to estobl ish the H. Sophie
Newcomb Memorial College as the women's
deportment in the University. She added
largely to her original endowment, and by her
wi ll bequeathed about $2,700,000 additional.
The University comprises the following de­partments:
The College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Engineering, the H. Sophie
Newcomb Memorial College for Young Wom­en,
the Graduate School, the College of Low,
the School of Medicine and the Graduate
School of Medicine, the College of Commerce
and Business Administration, the Courses for
Teachers and for the General Public, the
School of Social Work, the Deportment of
Middle American Research, and the Summer
Schools.
The Campus of 92 acres, wi th its imposing
build ings, faces Audubon Pork, one of the
most beautiful parks in the South and the
sixth largest pork in the United States.
Under construction now is the spacious and
architecturally beautiful McAlister audito­rium,
while construction on a new student
center building is to begin within the next few
weeks. Future building, announced some time
bock by the University's young and progres­sive
President, Dr. Rufus Carrollton Harris,
wi ll include the Howard Memorial Library, on
endowed downtown library, which is being con­solidated
with the University library in a mag­nificent
new building on the Campus.
The University has extensive athletic
grounds. The commodious football stadium
has been increased to 70,000 capacity through
the efforts of the New Orleans Mid-Winter
Sports Association or "Sugar Bowl" as the or­ganization
is generally known.

AGGIE THUMB- NAILS
NORTON, HOMER HI L L , head coach and d irector of
intercollegiate athletics. Coach Norton came to
Texas A. &. M. in 1934 from Centenary College,
Shreveport, La., with which he had been connected
since 1920, relieving Madison Bell as Aggie athletic
leader. He was director of ath letics and head foot·
ball coach while at Centenary. At Aggieland he
couples his coaching duties with that of director of
interco l legiate atheltics.
Born at Carrolton, Ala., on Dec. 30, 1897, he attend·
ed Birmingham high school and Birmingham-South·
ern College, graduating from the latter in 1916. He
lettered in football, baseball, basketball and track,
captained the baseball and football teams in 1915 and
won a medal as the best all-round athlete for his
senior year.
Following college days, Norton played professional
baseball for a while, with the Birmingham Barons in
the Southern League, Greenboro in the Piedmont
League and Lakeland, Fla., in the Million Dol lar
League. He was sold to Columbus in the American
Association but asked to be placed on the vol untary
retired list and never reported to the club. In 1920
he became head coach at Centenary College.
Coach Norton headed the Centenary coaching staff
for two years and then served as line coach under
"Bo" McMillan for three years. When McMillan left,
Norton was offered and declined the position as head
coach, but accepted the post in 1926, after another
year as line coach, and held it until he came to Texas
A. &. M. in 1934.
Norton tutored three undefeated teams in seven
years while head mentor at Centenary. His 1927, 1932
and 1933 teams were undefeated and his 1930 eleven
lost only one game, the Texas Aggies eking out a
7·6 victory in that one. During the 1932 and 1933 sea·
sons his teams were undefeated in twenty straight
games and unscored on in fourteen.
In his five years at Texas A. &. M., his teams have
won 32 games, lost 23 and tied six.
* * * •
John Kimbrough, better known as "Jarring John"
is a 21-year-old giant from Haskell, T exas. He stands
6 feet 2 inches and tips the scales at 210 pounds. He
has another year of eligibility at A. &. M. and after
making All-American teams galore during the 1939
season, he bids fair to repeat next year. John was
high·polnt man of the Southwest Conference this
year, and has been called one of football's greatest
plunging fullbacks.
MILLS LOUNGE • 6233 S. CLAIBORNE A VENUE
Derace Moser, six-foot, 180-pound five sport man,
stepped out as a Sophomore this season and won
himself a starting post at left-halfback for the Aggies.
" Mose" punts, passes and and carries the mail, as
well as playing a bang-up safety spot. For a Soph­omore
this lad has shown a steadiness and cool head
this year that would do credit to a more experienced
gridiron warrior. No doubt during his next two years
of eligibility "Mose" will win his laurels on All·
Southwest Conference and gain national recognition
of his ability. He plays baseball, basketball, tenls and

Continued from Page 29
James Thomason, anather jun ior with a year of
eligibility left, has been largely responsible for Kim­brough's
success as a line ripper this year, for the
5-foot 11-lnch lad from Brownwood has consistently
cleared the way for other Aggie backs by his stellar
blocking. Tommie's fighting heart and great spirit is
transferred to the other Aggies on the team, and
Coach Norton is frank in his praise of T homason,
calling him the " greatest blocker I've ever coached".
Tommie Is a,n excellent punter and ball carrier, but
he has sacrificed these talents willingly to stand out
as a defensive tower and an offensive whirlwind at
blocking. • • • •
Walemon Price is the only senior in the Aggie
starting backfield. Cotton is a quarterback with
plenty of savvy, and he Is polson to opponents with
his passing and ball-carrying propensities. Cotton is
a six-footer weighing 180 pounds and he hails f rom
Newcastle, Texas. While handicapped during a part
of the 1939 season, Cotton has made his senior year
at Aggieland one upon which he can look back with
pride through the coming years. He is an excellent
point after touchdown kicker and .punts at times.
• • • •
William Conatser, a 170,pound 5-foot 11 lad from
Denison, Is the kind of a boy who makes a coach look
good, according to Homer Norton. T his lad was used
last year as a punting specialist, due to a broken
collarbone; but he blossomed out Into a real ball-toter
and coffin-corner kicker in 1939. With six touchdowns
nullified by penalties committed by his mates, Bill
managed to score enough to be right behind John
Kimbrough In the Southwest Conference scoring
melee. Conatser and Moser room together, and take
• • •
turns playing the left halfback spot for the Aggies.
They are as inseparable as ham and eggs or Scotch
and soda. Bi ll has another year at Aggleland.
• • • •
Marion Pugh, better known as Oookie, is the
Aggies' passing specialist. In addition to h is procl iv­ities
for hurling the pigskin, this 6-foot 1-inch lad
from Fort Worth can tote the leather In anybody's
league. Pugh's greatest game in 1939 was at his
home town when the Aggles opened the Southwest
Confernce season against Texas Christian Univer·
sity. Oookie also plays baseball at Aggieiand, and
is one of the most popular youngsters on the campus.
Pugh is a junior. • • • •
Marland Jeffrey of Port Arthur has proved this
year that the old adage "Jack of all trades, master of
none", is all wet. This lad has filled every position
in the Aggie backfield, having been used as "swing
man" by Coach Norton with telling effect. It was
Jeff who rushed Into the fray at Fayetteville, Ark.,
and hurled passes until the Arkansas Razorbacks
were dizzy. He made them like a game that they
were supposed to have originated-the passing at­tack.
Jeffrey is a star on the Aggie baseball team,
and has one more year of eligibility.
• • • •
Tommie Vaughn of Brownwood is the Aggie cen­ter
and sparkplug of the great defensive record
made by the lads from the Brazos river bottoms this
year. This 6-foot 1-lnch, 185-pounder Is a rough and
ready 60-minute ball player as occasion demands.
He is definite refutation of the theory that a center
must weigh more than 200, for T ommie stands out
there in the flat barking defensive signals for the
Aggies and is always In the thick of the milling for
the time he's in a ball game.

Odell H erman, who'd rather be called " Butch" is
only 5 feet 10, but his 190 pounds are all steel, and
when he replaces Tommie Vaughn at center for the
Aggies, the opposing players are in for some hard
knocks. Butch is a converted fullback, and he knows
how to back up a line. He has been quite adept this
year at snagging forward passes. Herman has another
year of eligibility. * * !,'c •
Henry Hauser is one of those tall, silent boys from
the Texas hill countr y. He stands 6 feet 4, barefoot
and weighs a cool 200 pounds. He has the k ind of
nerves that make h im one of the best golfers In
collegiate circles. With this quiet demeanor, he also
carries a whale of a wallop when playing center,

zoomed him into the national spotlight, and no doubt
will gain for him All-America honors next year. This
22-year-o ld lad from Klondike, Texas, was aptly
named by a father who held the great French Gen­eral,
Marshall Foch, because " Foxey" hates to let
a ball-carrier pass the line of scrimmage, and very
few of them are able to do so when "Foxey" is In the
game-and that is practically all the time. For Rob·
nett is a 60..minute man if ever there was one. He
is heavyweight boxing and wrestling champion of
6000 students, lettered in track last year and has a
younger brother, Edward, who is an Aggie squadman
this year.
• • l;t •
Charles Henke, 204-pound, 6-foot 2-inch junior from
Kerrville, holds down the other guard post of the
Aggies with Robnett. Henke lettered as a tackle last
year, and this year has played a fine game at guard
throughout the Aggies' gruelling 10-game schedule.
The hills around Henke's home abound in white tail
deer, and this youngster is pretty handy with a 30..30
rifle, but he is more adept at kn if ing through a line
and smearing opponents' plays before they get start­ed.
• • * *
Joe Boyd, the Aggies' All-American tackle is com·
pleting his collegiate football career in the Sugar
Bowl game today. The blond giant from Dallas also
will complete his scholastic requirements for a de-gree
In February, and will enter the oil business as
an accountant and statistician. Boyd made All-South·
west Conference team last year and repeated this
year, adding All-America laurels on many selections.
He will be sore ly missed around Aggieland where he
has been one of the most popular athletes ever to
attend the College Station Institution.
* • 0 "'
James Sterling from Panhandle, Texas, Is the
other Aggie starting end. Sterling is a Sophomore
and won his starting berth from a group of seniors
and juniors who were out for the end posts of the
Aggies. Sterling is 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 185 at
his prime. In high school this youngster made letters
in football, baseball, basketball, track and tennis.
Only 17 years of age when the season started, James
is the baby of the Agg ie squad.
* I) * *
Herbert Smith at end is another Aggie appearing
for his last collegiate football game today. Little
Herbie stands just 5 feet 10 inches and weighs only
173, but he's every ounce a football-playing piece of
machinery. He was almost unanimous choice for All·
Southwest Conference end this year, and End Coach
Dough Rollins of the Aggies says "he's more end
per pound than any man in football today" . Smith
hails from San Angelo and has lettered three years
on the Aggie varsity. Particularly adept at spilling
interference and turning plays inside his end. Herbie
often brings the rabid football fans In the stands to
their feet by a brilliant defensive play.

What I Don't Like About
New Orleans • • •
By WILLIAM C. WIEGAND
Conductor of "Down the Spillway"
The New Orleans hem
THIS Sugar Bowl game, for instance, is
something I don't like; why must it be
played only once a year? The Sugar Bowl
game has spoiled the old New Orleans cus­tom
of cal ling on friends on New Year's Day.
The custom of gentlemen wearing plug hats
and cutaways was discorded the first year the
Sugar Bowl game was played and now the only
persons in New Orleans to wear silk hats are
the cleaners of chimneys, who have adopted
these as their livery ...
The Sugar Bowl game again has played the
devi l with some of our stores in New Orleans.
I mean the ones who used to sell those cut­gloss
punch bowls and cut-glass cups, from
which the elite of the city made New Year's
ceremony and whoopee. Nobody wonts to corry
a punch bowl and all of those cut-glass cups
to the football stadium ...
On second thought, it might be a good idea.
I hope the couple sitting next to me corry
out the idea and carry in a punch bowl, filled.
Another thing I don't like about the Sugar
Bowl game is that it makes visitors sick. I
mean they get a taste of our New Orleans
cooking-lo bouillabaisse, le courtbouillion,
Ia bisque des ecrivisses, gril lades, huitres
Rockefeller-and go back to their home towns
with a yen for dishes they can't get there.
They grow thinner and thinner, and finally
die. That is, unless they surrender and come
back to New Orleans to li ve. Which, I believe,
was back of all this Sugar Bowl ideo, anyhow.
Getting people to come live in New Orleans.
I don't think you would like living here. ff
you like to ice skate, you would have to buy
the ice. And then it would melt in a few min­utes
because of this accursed climate. Heck,
you hove to cut the grass in New Orleans all
the year around. A snowball has as much
chance in New Orleans as in another place to
which our enemies ore directed.
The women, specially, wouldn't like to live
in New Orleans. There's the servant question.
Just try to get along without one. A woman
who hongs up the family wash in New Orleans
is few and fa r between. The toughest part
about running a house in New Orleans is
thinking up enough things to hove Amanda
do to keep her busy unti I the Boss comes home
for dinner. And at that, the Boss won't be
coming home for dinner every night. For he
will be playing golf at the New Orleans Coun­try
Club and staying for dinner. No. Stay away
from New Orleans. Even serious minded hus­bands
become ploy boys here.
They play golf. They play the stock market.
They play the cotton market. And they ploy
the horses. All play and no work doesn't make
Jack.
The best thing you con do after seeing the
Sugar Bowl game is to pack up and head for
home and safety from the sins of this city.
If you stay in New Orleans you might become
acquainted with the night life. I mean the
night clubs below Conal street, the gambling
houses on the fringes of the city, and the bar
rooms everywhe re.
If you stay here you'll have to get the hang
of New Orleans' one way streets. The police
forg ive and forget a visitor with an out state
license plate. But woe awaits the local who
runs afoul the New Orleans traffic rules and
regulations.
Sometimes a rookie cop tries to give the vis­itor
t rouble. One of these is said to hove halt­ed
a Chicago visitor who hadn't seen a red
light. "You don't see that red light, you?" de­manded
the cop. "Don't they have red lights
where you come from? Where you from?"
The visitor said his home town was Chicago.
"Chicago?" screamed the policeman.
"What you mean by te lling me Chicago? You
think I don't see that lf linois license plate on
your cor?"

December day in 1795 when Etienne de Bore first granulated sugar on his planta­tion
above New Orleans, now Audubon Park. In this work, a ll Louisiana has had
part. Through its Audubon Sugar School, one of the few in the world, and its Agri­cultural
Experiment Station, the Louisiana State University has been privileged to
have a very great share.
Likewise, in the deve lopment of the Annual Sugar Bowl Program al l Louisiana again
has had part. To those who a re its leaders and to those who enjoy its events the
State University extends the Season's greetings.
